Overview

The Southern California Institute of Architecture offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

In the fall and spring terms, design studios, seminars and workshops led by visiting instructors and SCI-Arc faculty offer students a multitude of choices and perspectives. During the summer term, these courses are also open to upper-level students from other architecture programs and to the public. In addition to its undergraduate and graduate programs, SCI-Arc offers a Foundation Program in Architecture—Making+Meaning, and two one-year postgraduate programs—SCIFI and MediaSCAPES.

SCI-Arc's undergraduate and graduate programs culminate in two public events in which students present their thesis projects to renowned critics from all over the world. A true celebration of academic achievement, SCI-Arc's thesis reviews are regarded as a major forum for the discussion of insights and innovative concepts among theoreticians and practicing architects.
